Lot 150
It has both keys and the label on the inside is present but detached. The New Haven Clock Company originally made these Dickory, Dickory Dock Clocks, c.1910 under contract for the firm of Dungan and Klump; hat would be Elmer E. Dungan and Charles M. Klump who did business at 1208 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia between 1909-1912. They apparently made three models of this clock in the New Haven factory, and a fourth in the Sessions factory under a 1910 patent. They also made some miniature models. Elmer Ellsworth Dungan (1862-1930) of Flower town, PA was, a self-taught, self-made inventor. He (must've loved younger women!) married Margaret E. Murray (1893- ). Listing an address of Fort Washington, PA in 1909, he received patent no. 912-833 for a mouse clock, subsequently known as the Dickory, Dickory Dock Clock, or the Dickory, Dock, The Mouse Ran Up The Clock clock! There are a couple of quickly noticeable differences between models 1 and 2. First is that, on the earlier model, the front hinged open on the left side; on the older model it was screwed on from the front. Second, the style of numerals on the front is different between the two models. Many of the original clocks (most we've seen) are missing the original tail; it must've been very fragile, and certainly was hanging out there to be bumped and broken off.
